Last year, Paul, Elaine and myself weren't so fortunate as to see the trail on 
the way in.  Like most others we took the easy way out though.  We had a great 
walk in from the visitors center.  It was cold and icy, but a great walk.  
Yes, the Onondaga cache was close by. And there are a lots of other caches in 
the area too.

  We walked to Lunatic Fringe from the visitors center.  When we got to that 
hill you are referencing - I looked at Tim and said "We have to walk up that?"  
Right before we got to the trail I told him he was going to have to carry me up 
the rest of the way.  Lucky for him we found the trail!

  Was the cache that Bruce and the group did on Sunday in the same vicinity as 
Lunatic Fringe?

  The campground was closed.  They were doing construction in there.  The 
K-Team and I did not see the trail and went all the way to the top of the steep 
hill.  (Cory was running up most of the way!)  Once we got to the top, we had 
to bushwack down a very steep hill to get back to the trail.  The trail, other 
than the first 10 feet at the begining is in very good shape.  Mean Gene and 
RGS were standing right at the begining of the trail and we were telling them 
it was there.  At first they did not belive us.  But we fianlly got them to 
walk into the weed patch and discover the trail was there.  But heck, it was 
fun clmbing up that hill in 98 degree weather!

    Yea, I remember having to drive up that steep hill, what a pain. I parked 
at a small pull off area about halfway up the hill and ran directly over to the 
cache. That hill was something. I guess that road is closed now for campground 
renovations?

      I did Lunatic Fringe a coupla weeks ago, in on the closed road, and 
started up the 'chat' road up the steep hill, and luckily saw the trail to the 
left marked by a small sign, sure glad I didn't have to climb that whole hill!
